Abstract

We present a 630 GHz transmitter IC based on a 210 GHz PLL and 3 ^rd-order sub-harmonic transmit mixer in an 130nm InP HBT process. The transmitter output can be tuned across 15 GHz with 51 dBc and 74 dBc of phase noise at 100 Hz and 10 KHz offset, respectively. Measured saturated RF power was 30 to 33 dBm, while consuming 650 mW. The transmitter IC occupies L.37 mm ². To the authors' knowledge, this work represents the first terahertz transmitter with on-chip (phase-locked) frequency generation.
